Lightroom Desktop Marquee Mask?

[trashcaneron]

The new masking tools in Lightroom are super powerful - but can you create a marquee mask or must you do that in Photoshop?

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out! The option to do a selection using Marquee is currently not available in Lightroom while using Masking. For now, this is only possible in Photoshop.

You can submit a feature request for this by posting this as an Idea here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-ecosystem-cloud-based/ct-p/ct-lightroom?page=1&sort=latest_...

Current work-arounds might be to use-

1) A Brush to 'draw' the marquee.

eg. To marquee a square window-

Brush a straight line with the [Click] > [Shift+Click] method, for each window border, then brush in the interior of the mask.

2) Use the new 'Luminance Masking' functions, if luminance can define an area to "Marquee".
